ReNo, I noticed you playing the Dead Rising demo quite a lot. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I played it for a few hours myself over the weekend. It really does get across the zombie infested mall scenario very well indeed and is lots of fun. At times there must be a good hundred zombies on-screen. Anyone who likes flicks such as Dawn of the Dead will be in their element with Dead Rising.

I'm probably going to buy it, but will first wait for the reviews to see how well (or badly) the 15 minutes of carnage in the demo translates to an entire game.

Here's the Dead Rising map apparently. The demo is only limited to Paradise Plaza, which looks to be about 10-15% of the overall map, so there looks to be a whole lot more to explore in the full game.

I just played through the demo for Prey.

I was impressed by the graphics, even though I couldn't shake the feeling I was playing Doom 3.

I wasn't impressed by the voice-acting or the storyline. The barscene abduction was cool, but all the dialogue prior to that felt hokey and forced, not to mention the character's faces didn't look that great.

The monsters and aliens do look badass though, and are definitely weird.

Some of the features are sweet, specifically the portals and the gravity changing, and the walking on the walls thing is pretty damn cool. The guns weren't great, although the freezing gun felt very Duke Nukem image

All in all though, I would rather play Doom 3 than Prey, even with all of Prey's new gameplay features, I prefer getting the pants scared off me in Doom 3. The atmosphere and storyline in Doom 3 grabbed me, whereas Prey's didn't. Sure the action in Doom 3 is boring and repetative, but the story/atmosphere in Prey seems weak to me. I won't be buying this game.

Maybe I'm just not finding FPS titles interesting anymore. I didn't like the FEAR demo either.

Man, I have been away from DoD:S for a while now, and I just got back and have been playing quite a bit of it.

I just played jagd, and I have to say I love that they brought over the bomb-defuse scenario from goldsource DoD.

I always cycle through my favorite classes, but I have to say for Axis I always pick #1, the guy with the Kar, and for Allies I pick #2, the guy with the thompson. The playstyle is different for both, but in general I like being able to move around quickly. Sitting and waiting with either a sniper rifle or an mg isn't for me.

I really love the way this game looks and the atmosphere it captures. Luckily, I have a good computer so it runs and looks great. If I had to turn the settings down, I probably wouldn't like the game as much. I think part of it is DoD:S pushes the limit of multiplayer eye-candy, and I like that.

Any SnarkPitters play DoD:S much? I'd love to get in a game together and cooperate or compete image

FEAR Multiplayer is gonna be free to download and play in 10 minutes.

I'm not gonna play it though, I played the demo and thought the weapons sucked to a degree that makes the game unenjoyable. It's another example of what I call a "lol prity graphfikz" game. Maybe the single player is fun, I don't know I haven't tried it, but the multiplayer is retarded. And the parallax-mapped bullet holes look fugly.

Recently played Planeshift. It has evolved quite a bit in the past three months I haven't been playing. The players are always friendly and there's more roleplaying around than farming. <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif"> I guess it's the upside for it being completely free. No pressure from the monthly payments to get your moneys worth.

AtM: I play DoD:S, but generally stick to Australian servers since everything else has a ping of >500 from here. Youre right, its a great game, in my opinion better than the original. Its what CoD 2 multiplayer should have been (looks almost exactly the same, plays far better). As far as play style goes, I just hit random class and frag.

Do you have a server you frequent? I'll try to connect and see how I ping.

I generally go for the Internode servers, try one and see. I've been busy this past week with uni and such, but I'll get back into it soon.

I just bought Episode 1, and I'm playing through it right now. I'm not exactly sure how far through I am, but I'd estimate halfway.

I'm really enjoying it right now. The puzzles are pretty satisfying to figure out, and I like how they make use of the gravity gun.

Having Alyx there is pretty cool as well, especially in dark areas where you have to spot for her with your flashlight.

I like zombies yes, so I get double the pleasure.

I tried downloading media (ie. Ep2 Teaser) via Steam, but on playback everything is green and the video is oddly colored / corrupted. All videos I've downloaded are that way, and when I try to delete local content Steam hangs and I have to force quit. Any ideas?

The Steam video player isnt too good. Try going into your steam folder and looking for the media files, they are .wmv files. I dont remember where theyre stored, but they arent in gcfs, and theyre playable with a normal player (works for me).

Hey wilson, you play any cs:s on the node servers? I play zombie horde and regular cs:s failry regularly on node servers under the name Agent Smith Bob *Huyuck*. Just look for someone by that name whose getting owned and cursing :P.

Also started playing BF2 again, and still that game is s**t on a stick at the best of times. If you manage to actually get into a game its hell fun, but actually getting into a game, and having it run even slightly smoothly, is the almost impossible challenge. I swear that the game is only 90% complete at best, no way in hell was it finished when the released it.

Also pre-ordered chromehounds for my 360 (first chance I've had to bitch about it), and I'll be trading it in for some cash off dead rising after only playing the damned game once. Piss weak single-player, no network play, and only live multiplayer make it rubbish for anyone who doesn't want to shell out for the privelige of playing games online (whoever though of being able to play games online, for free!?) or doesn't have the time to join and play through campaigns with other people. Such a promising game, would have been awesome with a group of friends over, and it doesn't even have 2 player combat. What a load of crap.

2 player combat (if you mean versus) in Chromehounds would have been a waste of time - the game is about tactics and squad behaviour so a 1v1 game would be rather ridiculous. Coop would probably have been a good addition though. I've yet to get the game - its on my "when there's nothing else coming out worth buying" list - but the demo didn't impress me a whole lot. I hear good things about the multiplayer component but for now, not quite good enough to make me cough up ?40 for it.

I'll stand by the fact that Live is worth paying for until I see a competing service from Sony or Nintendo that does the same for free. There's so much to love about Live that I don't begrudge paying ?40 a year for it. Then again, I suppose you get some of my favourite features of the service for free via the silver option, so maybe in that light, ?40 for the online multiplayer portion does seem a little steep.

? quoting Agent Smith
whoever though of being able to play games online, for free!?


Sega, Sony, and Nintendo, and just look how wonderful their online services were <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/icon_smile.gif">

I just got finished with the Demo for Dark Messiah: Might and Magic. *drool*

This demo was so great, I actually will buy the game. great engine and graphics, it was a real winner!

I think that I will start playing these "inter-active video games" instead of sitting around hating all minorities, like I normally do.
